During this week of valentine's madness, a customer said , "I bet you are sick of flowers."

Me sick of flowers! Not even close.

If you know me, you understand that flower and plants in general are a huge part of my life. For me, they are important because it connects me to the earth.


I bet flowers are important in your life too.
Have you ever noticed how different a room feels when you bring nature inside? 

This ancient philosophy of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding environment has been utilized for years in our Asian cultures using the techniques introduced in Feng Shui.



Feng Shui is a method of attracting good energy into our homes by organizing the spaces we live in. Since flowers make up a huge chunk of home décor, it is essential to be aware of how we can rearrange or organize flowers in a way that will bring us good fortune. 

The universal language of flowers crosses any cultural boundaries, interpretations or meanings and  is based on the same universal feeling that flowers evoke in all humans - a feeling of beauty, grace, and a delicate, alive sensuality.

Here are some tips that some people observe when they want to harness good forces through Feng Shui and flowers:

·         Place a white vase with pink or fresh flowers on the bedside table. This is believed to bring more romance into your life.

·       When you want happiness and laughter to enter your home, place a bouquet of chrysanthemums in it. These flowers are symbols of peace and relaxation. The Chinese call these beautiful flowers “A Heaven full of stars” or “Drunk With Wine made from the Peaches of Immortals.” With exotic, alluring names like that, how can you go wrong?

·          If you want good luck for the whole year round, grow a narcissus or a water fairy just  
        before the year ends. When it blooms at exactly the start of the New Year, it means you will 
        enjoy a year of good fortune.

·        Another good omen flower according to Feng Shui tradition is the peony.  Peonies, especially those with many leaves and flowers, are signs of good fortune. Peonies also enhance male energies. They are symbols of affection, faithfulness and loyalty and are even thought to prevent blood disorders as well as heart disease.

No matter who you are.

       No matter where you are.  

               Not matter what you call it

                                Flowers and plants make the day a little brighter.
